All
the members of the Cuban gouvernment - young in age, young in character and
young in their illusions - have nevertheless matured in the extraordinary
school of experience, in living contact with the needs and aspirations of
the people.
Ernesto Che Guevara july 28, 1960
Che Guevara Talks to Young People is not "Che for Beginners."
The legendary Argentine-born revolutionary, who helped lead the first socialist
revolution in the Americas and initiate the renewal of Marxism, speaks as
an equal with youth of Cuba and the world.
He challenges them to work. To become disciplined.
To fearlessly join the vanguard on the front lines of struggles, small and
large. To read and to study. To aspire to be revolutionary combatants.
To politicize the organizations and institutions they are part of and in
the process politicize themselves. To become a different kind of human being
as they strive together with working people of all lands to transform the
world. And, along this line of march, to renew and revel in the spontaneity
and joy of being young.
The talks published here, with a preface by Armando Hart,
were compiled with the cooperation of Casa Editora Abril in Cuba.
